#screw all those gritty post-apoc stories

[caddwen]

This is super important. Because it's very rarely portrayed in fiction, as post-apocalyptic scenarios are always so 𝓖𝓡𝓘𝓜𝓓𝓐𝓡𝓚, despite it being so VERY human to band together in order to survive, and not cooperating generally leads to failure.

hate how all these apocalyptic films show society breaking down the hot minute the grid goes down, with all the survivors banding off into tiny violent gangs that prey on each other.

bitch you are a member of one of the most social species in existence! it is actually insane the extent to which humans have evolved to use cooperation as our main survival tool. humans have been building and then rebuilding societies for as long as disasters have been bringing them down. an apocalypse would be fucking awful, but the survivors would end up building communities and networks and pooling resources and knowledge, because that's what humans do. that's what they DO!!!
